Philadelphia Airport also refreshed its retail offerings this week, with the opening of four fashion retail brands from Stellar Partners with MarketPlace Development: Chico’s, White House Black Market, and Soma together in one place; plus trending activewear brand, Marika. A Stellar Books shop was also opened.
The multi-brand concept store Chico’s, White House Black Market, and Soma is a first-of-its-kind retail experience for the popular Chico’s brand.
“We are very excited to celebrate this momentous occasion with Philadelphia Airport and MarketPlace today. These prominent stores will have a great impact on the shopping experience in the airport for years to come,” said Stellar President and CEO Padraig Drennan. “It is also very exciting to debut Chico’s first multi-concept location. Chico’s is a specialty retail leader in women’s fashion; together we are enhancing the customer experience at Philadelphia International Airport by showcasing the quality clothing and accessories of three popular and well-known brands.”
Marika is known for casual, comfortable, yet stylish yoga-inspired clothing ideal for men and women on the go between workouts. Stellar and Marika are expanding locations in airports as part of an exclusive licensing agreement to serve the growing athleisure market.
Stellar has operated in PHL Airport since 2009.
